Arabian Swordsmen are recruited from the Mercenary Post for 80 gold each. They are similar to their European counterparts, being an effective melee troop both in offensive and defensive tasks. They are faster than swordsman, but less armoured and weaker. They possess good resistance to archer fire (75 arrows required to kill them) and average resistance to crossbow fire (3 to 4 bolts required to kill them).

Appearance:

Arabian swordsmen are large in size, towering over most other infantry. They carry a thick edged scimitar, and a round shield. They seem to have body armour of both metal and leather protection, which would explain their resistance of arrows, but weakness to crossbow bolts.

Arabian swordsmen are most often used because of their ease to create (requiring no weapons) and their good strength. In many instances a player might hire a group of these to defend his or her Lord as a last means of defense.

Line amount: 20~
